"What have we got"? Heela asks Pookie who sits in the brown chair within the brown room.
Pookie places his hand gently on the table, while Heela tips the simple grey ceramic teapot.
The color in the water changes, and the face of a pale Terran man is seen, with a hooked nose, and mouth covered with a scarf.
"That's all the kid gave me" Pookie says, making Utaums eyebrows rise into the air.
"What do you mean 'gave'"?
His question falls on deaf ears.
"Listen" Pookie instructs.
The pool of water begins to bubble, slowly at first, like a rising crescendo of silence.
As the bubbles burst whispers can be heard.
Feint, but Utaum hears them.
"Lady Ida is working on it from her end, but this demon is insidious in nature" Heela says after the whispers die, and the water stops bubbling.
"That fiend must have done some 'things' to that boy..." Utaum pinches his brow.
